Request Body (httpClient-RequestBody)

This component configures the source type and the Send action properties of a request body.

Figure 32. httpClient-RequestBody properties

To access these properties, expand Config > Drivers > HttpClientNetwork > HttpClientDevice > Ping Address and double-click Request Body.

Properties	Value	Description
Source Type	drop-down list (defaults to `SlotSource)`	Selects the source type for sending the content. `FileSource` `ParameterStringSource` `ReportPayloadSource` `SlotSource`
Clear Payload After	drop-down list (defaults to `Neither`)	Selects the status required to clear a payload. `Success` `Failure` `Neither` `Both`
Send On Source Cov	`true` (default) or `false`	Specifies if a new Http request is automatically sent after modifying the `Data Slot` value in the source. `true` sends a new Http request `false` causes the Send action to occur only when executed. By default, when you modify the `Data` slot value in the request body source, the driver automatically sends a new HTTP request. To alter this behaviour, set `Send On Source Cov` to `false` under `Request Body`. Then send only occurs when you invoke the Send action.
Write Buffer Size	number (defaults to 8192)	Specifies the size of the buffer to use when reading the source data into the Http connection for tuning. A higher value may increase the performance for large message bodies.
